About this programme

IMPORTANT NOTICE : Students interested in the Electrical Power Engineering major must apply for the Master's programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology . Once accepted and enrolled, they can choose one of the following five majors: Electrical Power Engineering , Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Systems and Automation, Communications Engineering, or Biomedical Systems Engineering. Electrical power engineering is, in many respects, a typical systems-oriented discipline. Students will understand systems by combining their in-depth knowledge of selected domains of electrical power engineering with their knowledge of other disciplines. They will be able to apply theoretical concepts of system identification, modelling, and optimisation. Graduates with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology with a specialisation in Electrical Power Engineering will be able to analyse problems related to electrical power and to communicate these problems to others in a scientific formulation. Using knowledge acquired in lectures as well as experience gathered by completing exercises, graduates will develop models for power systems and their components to solve technical/scientific questions. They will understand the responsibility that they have as well as the importance of an electricity supply that is safe, reliable, economical, and environmentally friendly. Using concepts acquired during their studies, graduates will create solutions that address the
